I'm using the Keychain extension and while I sent HIVE with it a couple of days ago I don't know why this time around it didn't work - no error either. Anyways, I know times are hard, and I'm genuinely glad to hear that you're ready for rocky times.

As far as STEEM goes, I think the sooner you move it into Bitcoin, the better. HIVE can wait, just my honest opinion. Take care man, and wish you all the best!
